12.5% alc., pH 3.56, TA 0.341, $11.99.
·Moderately light reddish-purple
color in the glass. Aromas of black cherries, underbrush, mown hay
and oak. Tasty core of juicy black cherry and dark berry fruits with a
hint of anise, savory herbs and oak. A lighter offering with good
structural integrity and charm. A solid wine at this price, and an
excellent introduction to Pinot Noir for newbies or an acceptable daily drinker for
pinotaficionados. Good.Reviewed September 2, 2011
